He added, "Kumar, in trying to be different, has neither made good use of the story at his disposal nor has he capitalised on Jaggesh's screen presence, leaving the audience totally at sea." About the acting performances, he wrote, ""Jaggesh is as usual in his element... Uttara has nothing much to do. Dhirendra Gopal is wasted. The dialogues are loud, vulgar and unparliamentary. Papamma is a delight, though her dialogues are atrocious."
